2015 Map of Gurney

About this map

Gurney and Sedgwick anchor this portion of the Wisconsin northwoods, a landscape defined by the drainage systems of the Potato River and Tyler Forks. The terrain is marked by significant topographical relief, most notably at Potato River Falls, where the river drops through a series of dramatic contours. Settled life in this rural corridor is tied to the roads that trace the section lines, such as Co Line Rd and Potato River Rd, connecting isolated homesteads and community landmarks. Genealogists can locate family sites through Edgewood Cem and Saint John's Lutheran Cem, while the intricate network of tributaries including Vaughn Cr, Barr Cr, and Gehrman Cr illustrates the complex hydrology that historically shaped the region's logging and agricultural potential.
